Resolution No. 2019-xx
<br />Page 4 of 9
<br />15061(b) (3). This exemption applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that
<br />there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
<br />environment. The project proposes to allow the operation of a banquet facility with on-
<br />premises sale of alcoholic beverages at a full-service restaurant with after-hours
<br />operation only on weekends and minor interior tenant improvements. There is no
<br />reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due
<br />to the facility having the necessary infrastructure to operate the proposed use and no new
<br />expansion of the existing building is proposed. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
<br />Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2019-97, will be filed for this project.
<br />

<br />such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”),
<br />brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents,
<br />departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to

<br />City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and
<br />instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or
<br />concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown
<br />Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision
<br />Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or
<br />local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a
<br />court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to
<br />approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing
<br />the City’s defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and
<br />expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense.
<br />City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate
<br />with Applicant in the defense of the Action.
